Do you play as a boy or girl when given the choice?

Do you play as a boy or girl when given the choice?

I don't play shit games that give legitimacy to the gender binary theory

Girl, because I like to play as girls. There's no deep sociological or psychological implications, I just like playing as a girl, its fun.

What business is it of yours, loser?
A guy

Usually girl in games with romance, because I'm a faggot and I don't usually give a shit about the player character but do usually give a shit about romance options.
This game was a double exception because it let me be gay but all of the romance candidates for both genders were so fucking shit that I ended up just finding the mod to make Alex female. This game tried to pander to me and it fucked up so hard I ended up roleplaying as a straight guy.
In games without romance though I'll always do guy.

>heterosexual male
>never self-insert as character

Male/female probability is about 60/40 if first person view, 10/90 if third person.

depends on the situation
if there's no customization and the character is a mute protag, then male
if there's no customization and the character has a personality, then i usually lean towards male
if there is customization and the character is a mute protag meant to be a self insert, i model him after myself
if the above and they're not meant to be a self insert, i either make the most wacky thing i possibly can, or a waifu
if there's another version of the game, like pokemon, i choose the opposite gender i played earlier

Depends entirely on the game.
First that comes to mind, if there's a relationship system, depends on who I can get with. If the girls are cute, male, if the boys are cute, female.
Most other shit, just what I'm feeling at the time.

Boy, usually. Playing as a girl reinforces "those" feelings. Also male armor.sers are usually.more realistic

>those
care to explain?

>self-insert and live out tranny fantasy
Nice meme

>good character creator
girl
>non-existent/bad
boy

Ultimately it depends on the overall aesthetic design and cosmetic options for each sex. Especially if it's a non-Human race.

>binary genders
Ugh. Just ugh.

>playing as a boy lets you date all the cute girls
>playing as a girl gives you more clothing and hair options
GUYS WHAT THE FUCK DO I DO?

I like self inserting as a girl.
I want to be one

Be a girl (male) and date cute girls

It depends on whether I'm horny or not.

Does anyone else here tend to go for robotic or cybernetic characters whenever possible?

these threads make me feel so detached from modern gamers.

> There's no deep sociological or psychological implications

The first step is to admitting that there is and to stop being deluded.

>clearly theres something wrong with you if youre not exactly like me

Guy because I'm a guy and not a delusional tranny.

>playing a girl for """"fun"""" and not having a disorder.

Girl if the fashion is good.
Guy if the fashion is shit or if it makes absolutely no sense to play as a girl.

Yeah, whats wrong with that sentence? Why cant you accept it? Has it not become a popular opinion on this trash board? I wouldve figured, theres no nuance to a wave of edgy teens posting.

Girl. I make waifus. For all the problems of Kingdoms of Amalur, it gave me grey elves with fucking FINE bodies, grey is my favourite skin tone. Or Saint's Row 4 and finding the absolute perfect fraction on the body shape triangle to make her thicc without being fat. Watching her plump ass in tight pants as I'm jumping around. And I'll either make a pale goth slut with black lipstick or a green eyed red-head with some inherent feralness to her character, because I like feisty Irish girls.

If there's romance though, I play as a man to fuck the finest waifu, unless I can be in yuris with them.

Yes.

Depends on game. If game lets you choose and obtain a waifu then play as boy. If game lets you create waifu but not obtain waifu then play as girl.

Nah, you're just self inserting, which is even worse. You're the author insert "Sonic's Best Friend". Face it mate, every single character you've ever made is a Mary Sue, because it's YOU but capable.

Boy because if I pick a girl I get this feeling I cant do anything right

male in western games and female in jap games.

I seem to like playing as nigresses when I can, usually with brightly colored hair.

Usually whatever's the most cute, although it totally comes down to customization. If the male outfits/armor/hairstyles are 6 flavors of bland, I'll roll female.
In games where you can choose a fantasy race and the males are more monstrous than females (see: WoW and the blue-skinned tall girls/green-skinned girls for Trolls and Orcs), I'll usually play the males. More interesting that way.

>not making your character a cute boy

Both depending on game.
In multiple playthroughs I generally have one male and one female character.

this
in starjew valley i always play as boy and have gay romances

This. I tend to switch between playing as a guy or girl arbitrarily, but I don’t think I’ve ever made “myself” in a character creator. Probably because I’m fucking creative and want to make an actual character. Typically something fun or badass

who do you go for

I play almost exclusively as a male when given the choice. Only times I pick female is when it's just leagues better than the male option like in Pokemon Platinum or Diablo 3 Wizard. But most of the time I pick male because it's how I see myself and avatars are an extension of me in the game.

What? You don't want to be the amazing hero of the world of Purpnurplestein; Ethan, Grand Darkslayer of the Gurpgorp Order? You don't want to be the lone Ryan in a sea of Kal'tek's and Qir'varra's? Are you a closet homo?

I feel like I just had a stroke

Always girl for my main. I just tell people I started doing it to copy the big name pvp players and never dropped the habit. I think they know I'm lying

The basic point is these people are so uncreative that they will outright name their characters their own name, despite how ill-fitting it is for the setting. And yet, self-inserters are the first, and only, ones to say that playing as something you are not means you're a transsexual faggot.

>reinforces "those" feelings
Elaborate.

Cute

usually a girl
I have an extreme obsession with women's fashion and playing dress-up in general

This. There's men and then there's property.

If there's actual combat then I play as a man, no exceptions
Playing as a girl tickles my autism too much because actual women are nowhere near capable of the fighting or any other feats the game would probably have me do

I play women or fuccbois for the sole reason that delivering powerful strikes with a tiny skeleton makes the abilities feel way more impactful.

You're not playing as ACTUAL woman retard. Fictional women are superior women. Actual woman is pig.

A boy. I'm not a girl, so it's impossible to self insert while playing as one. If I can't self insert as a character, then I can't have fun.

thanks dad

Boy if character is older than 20
Girl if younger

A man if it's a real game.
A girl if it's a sex game.

girls in third person games because if I'm going to stare at an ass for hours (or weeks in case of wow) I'd rather be a girl ass.
Also in RPGs because (at least in older times) it was nice to see how far they changed dialog depending on male or females.
I don't care for FPSes

Depends on the game

Nobody's forcing you to stare at the main characters ass rather than the actual game world

yeah but sometimes you just do. Especially for long walks.
Another thing is also nimble characters are my favorite. Back in vanilla wow for example I fucking hated taurens and their slow movement, the faster a character move or appear to be moving the better.

>What's your gender?
>Are you a boy or girl?

You wouldn't lie to a video game, would you?

I play a trans. Tell me if this is autistic. I basically make a male character as close to my actual looks, then I switch the gnder to female and make how I want to look after my surgery.

>this fucking thread.

Fanservice is a thing, both male and females like to see their opposite genders in hot situations. There's nothing wrong with that, that's part of Bayonetta's appeal.

Ofc OP is probably trolling.

All games should let you make cute boys

if I want to self-insert then I have to play as a woman even though I'm a man because usually I can make the woman's face look closer to mine

by OP I meant all those saying there's a psychological reason.

>Pick girl
>Make her look as androgynous as possible and rp that I'm a femboy

Numales and trannies play girls tbqh

The kind of numale or tranny that would only watch The Road Warrior if it had a female lead (oh wait, Fury Road)

I played as a black haired girl and romanced Haley. Lesbian opposites attract.

For me I actually do want to be a cute girl.

Be a girl, date girls. Duh.

how many games lets you do this aside from stardew valley?

Every time it's an option, which is fucking rare. One of the few things I liked about destiny was playing as a robot.
I guess it's a sign of the times, but there used to be way more games with robot characters like that silicon valley game on n64 and timesplitters. At least you can opt into loading your guy up with cybernetics in shadowrun, but it's not the same

Whatever I want to roleplay as at the moment.
Also gender doesn't exist only biological sex. Your gender isn't New England Patriots because you identify with them and dress in their colours.

Girl girl girl! I want to be one really badly so I always choose girl!

Gender and sex are only meaningful and interesting BECAUSE of societal standards.

I don't want to be a girl if it means nothing. Then what's the fucking point? Where's the fun in that? And that's not saying that societal standards cannot be broken either. I think there's room for both, I just think completely disregarding it makes things dull.

>yeah but sometimes you just do
Sometimes YOU just do. Why would I be staring at an ass, male or female, when your objective is to go forward? That's sounds weird.

too few. especially nippons are stuck in this mentality "you play girl, you date guys only" thing.

Nippons have huge hurdle to admit homosexuality in any forms. Unless it's manga/anime yuri/yaoi shit.

gender does exist, even if people is full of shit lately. It only exists as a way to mention an archetype. Genders were created based on biological sex and psychological features attributed to those sexes. Now that these psychological features are found in both sexes with an increased rate, those characteristics shouldn't be attributed to genders anymore, making them pointless. However, we still need to use them as a way to describe people in certain contexts.

Do you play as a girl or a female when given the choice?

Boys are cooler.

>If the girls are cute, male, if the boys are cute, female.
The only correct answer.

I always thought it was because sexuality is so repressed, they need at all times relate to women in some way. Since they're young they're aroused by fictional girls, either in manga, or games, so it's only logical for them to have the need to be in control of situations involving females, and what's better to be in control of a woman than actually playing it?

I lose either way

If i pick male im a self inserting autist faggot that stares at man ass

If i pick female im a degenerate closet tranny that likes playing dress-up doll with my character

thats exactly how I feel about everything in life, so I stopped giving a shit about such questions, at least I save some energy

If you could become any female vidya character for a year

Would you?

Always a boy cause I'm not a faggot.

>likes staring at man ass
>not a faggot

Depends on the game.
On games where you can date, I'd play as a boy.
On other games where it makes no difference, I'd probably play as a girl. Like for example, on every single Monster Hunter game the females version of every armor is clearly superior than the male. So female it is.

Nice bait, but I'm blind

Of course, it'd be temporary, and there would be no drawbacks

Id pick the hottest, most out of this world goddess bitch, do porn for all that year, and then NEET out on my money for a while, while i pursue my true passions

Also if i were the only one, the experience alone would warrant writing a book which alone would rake in millions, as it is insofar impossible to truly experience being the opposite gender

How'd you go blind? From staring at men's butts too much?

You wish.

>choose male
>marry with a boy
perfection.

did kind of try to justify yourself there?

>you will never have a cute blind girlfriend(male)

yes :(

>I will never have a mute gf female (female[female]) whom cooks for me

That sounds pretty gay user

which ever one has a nicer default desu

I know a semi cute blind girl

It's jarring to see her eyes are all cross-eyed and move all over the place when she opens her eyes, it's uh, aesthetically not very pleasing i have to admit

But being that she is blind, the hold my hand/arm for guidance purpose thing is EZ and she enjoys it

Why don't they just do a "you play a trap, you date girls only" thing ?
It would be perfect desu
